The Autostrada A24, or Strada dei Parchi ("Parks motorway") is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 166 kilometres (103 mi) long in Italy located in the regions of Lazio and Abruzzo connecting Rome to Teramo, near the Adriatic Sea.

[1] Starting from the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA – the Rome orbital motorway), the A24 runs broadly north-east across the Abruzzese Apennine Mountains.

Near the Lazio and Abruzzo border the Autostrada A25 splits from the A24 and reaches the Adriatic Coast at Pescara.

Together with the A25, it provides a fast and reliable connection between the capital and the central-eastern regions of the peninsula; previously, the natural subdivision imposed by the highest peaks of the Apennines had made travel between the two seas difficult, slow and treacherous.

Until its completion, communications took place mainly via the winding State roads Salaria, Flaminia and Tiburtina Valeria.
